Emperor Dumpling - Shrimp, mushroom and pork dumpling - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Convenient location....great dumplings for a rainy cold Sunday. Also enjoyed the Mongolian Beef combo w a hot & sour soup.

It had exquisite food with good sauces. Would visit again, service was nice. Ambiance was relaxing.

Got the Mongolian beef over fried rice. Guess that will teach me to get regular Chinese at a dumpling place. Had to be the most chewy beef I've had in a looooonnng time! I chewed up and out to give to my dog when I get home from work. The spring rolls are decent. I will give them a second chance and try the dumplings - which is in their name, so probably should have started there. read more

Emperor Dumpling - Mongolian Beef over fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

This was a recommendation from a coworker from weeks ago and finally decided to try it out. The place for lunch is absolutely exceptional! On top of service, quality of food, and best of all - the price point is pretty crazy. About that - so with inflation and the ubiquitous talks about skyrocketing prices of everything on earth, food is definitely one of the most obvious areas for that topic. And of course, we're talking NYC prices, particularly lunch in Manhattan! The price for lunch in Manhattan has always been expensive, but oh man, with these days - it's almost painful to realize this fact that the holes in the pockets are only getting bigger. So that is why, stumbling upon a place like this - really helps!!! This also factors in the fact that the price point was not compromising the quality. Majority of the dishes were cookedand made to order - and that's a rare finding, unless you go to a sit-down restaurant. Otherwise, for a quasi-take out lunch place, it is nice to see a scene like that. (Many delis do have similiar made to order styles, but rare to have stove-top arrangements like this... the preparation involved is cumbersome and generally costs more with this set up.) Plus the place is packed by noon. There was not a place to stand clear. It was decided to avoid the cluster of people blocking the main entrance. So it was kind of hard to get out when the order # was called. Of course, with cheap eats, you will attract patrons who lack manners and such (Yes, chivalry is dead). This particulardetail on shortcomings of customers clearly has nothing to do with the restaurant/business or remotely close to it, but later, will see why this is an important concept later on. So this dude was absolutely impolite and did not allow me through first, and had to go in front of me to block me. Based on the crowds, there was no way out to reach the counter to pick up the order. That was pretty annoying, but you know - you just have to carry on with these circumstances and be prepared that there will be all types of personalities that comes to establishments. What is ultimately important to note here, this same person tried to grab a drink from fridge, that was not part of the special package. He attempted to take a more expensive drink. Now, remember - sd busy as this place was - (the containers were being lined up for all the orders), a restaurant worker was still able to call him out loud, in front of everyone. And no, it was not an honest mistake (for those who like to err on benefit of the doubt ideas), because upon being caught, the guy responded "oh that's right, soda right". Yes, that's right, not the very apparent $10 glass bottle of expensive kombucha you tried to pick up inconspicuously. Geez. So with that said, the workers were definitely on the ball, which is pretty amazing because it was so hectic in the front side back and everywhere. Which in this case, I think deserve 10 stars!!!! Oh, and last point on this topic - BOOMERANG! That type of character and thinking can only go so far. The order was heavy and large (for lunch). The restaurant used the method to separate the dish from the rice. Super smart! Portions were large, unable to finish in one setting. For those who are frugal, you can see this being saved for dinner later. Or split with a friend. =) Please support your local businesses like this! It is important to try out various restaurants in the business. That way, the neighborhood and lunch choices continue to be available for everyone! read more

Ordered take out, miso soup and mango smoothie. Both were tasty but the menu prices are high for the options. Must be due to the area. I'll definitely try more options in the future. read more

The crystal shrimp dumplings were incredibly tender and delicious! Miso soup excellent. Items off the lunch menu weren't so great. I ordered pork ribs that seemed more like tail bones. Breaded with no meat, only gristle and fat. Sweet sour chicken was mostly soft breading, little meat. The rice was nicely cooked but needed a touch of salt. If I visited again, I'd stick with dumplings. Restaurant itself seemed clean and well run. Very efficient. read more

I found these chards of plastic in my soup. I thought maybe I had broken my utensils somehow, but nope - this was in the soup as delivered. Unfortunate because the people were nice and the location is convenient. But most important in food service is make it healthy/safe. And this was a fail. read more

Emperor Dumpling - Chards of plastic in my food - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Got takeout from this place yesterday and it was delicious. Prices are great for NYC (~$10 for 8 dumplings), dumplings were Greta, and love the sauce / chili oil they provide (I recommend mixing them together). I ate one order each of the Spicy Beef and Pork and Chive and they were both very well cooked and seasoned. If I had a complaint, it's that I ordered both of them pan fried and the Pork and Chive came out steamed (and I thought a bit oversteamed/soggy) but the filling was wonderfully seasoned and cooked. Will definitely plan to grab these next time we are in town. read more

Emperor Dumpling - Pan Fried Spicy Beef Dumplings - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Amazing place for grab and go. We ordered; Pork and chives dumplings Roast duck over rice Taiwanese beef noodle All of them are very delicious and generous portion. I would say Taiwanese beef noodle is first timer friendly flavor so it may not satisfy you if you are familiar with the soup from Taiwan. It's like we don't put much wasabi in your sushi. like caring for customer if that makes sense. The fact it's delicious won't change:) Beef is super tender too. Roast duck is crispy and filling. This is probably my most favorite. Dumpling - yum. We will come back again soon! read more

I went here due to the high rating, but maybe I didn't order the correct items since the food was just average. Soup Pork Bun was somewhat bland comparatively to other's I've had. I did really enjoy House Shrimp Pork Mushroom Dumplings with soup. The soup broth was probably my favorite part of the whole meal. I guess for the price point this place is good. I'll give it another try in the future. read more

This was a relatively inexpensive, quick, and tasty dinner option. NYC meals are expensive, and this did the trick. The dumplings were the place to start -- they had some great sauce on the side. I also had a soup, which was flavorful. I'll definitely be back. read more

Peas and carrots in dumplings and vinegar is sweet. Not the best. Not very authentic.

Delicious food with large portions! They're not stingy with the meat. Fast and friendly service. So good for a quick bite when you're in town. read more

This is a very underrated spot I feel and if I were closer I would probably order here a bit more often. The name of the business is very catchy and the place was recommended to me previously. Due to scheduling, I could only visit after work. The establishment is larger than your average take out restaurant with more seating as well. That is when I had decided to eat in instead of taking the food to go. This place seems to be very popular for pick ups/take out and when I saw how extensive the menu is, I was quite taken aback. This is certainly not your average take out Chinese restaurant. First and foremost, I came for the dumplings! I went with the popular steamed pork and chive and then added on some pan fried beef filled ones to supplement. The dumplings were very plump and tasty. The fried ones had a nice crispiness to them. The menu had salmon teriyaki with white rice and I was curious and hungry at the same time. It was a nice complement to the dumplings. The teriyaki sauce was similar to other restaurants with its savoriness and the salmon was cooked well. It was a very filling combo that I was glad I had ordered because a nice rice dish is always one of my comfort foods. I noticed they had Vietnamese Pho on the menu and gave it a try. The portion size for eating in I was not prepared for. The beef and broth was flavorful and there were also fish balls included with the rice noodles. It was a lot of food for one person so I ate part of the pho and packed the rest to eat later. So this not being your standard takeout restaurant, they had a dessert menu and anyone who knows me knows that I always have to try a dessert or two if they have it on the menu. Two of the desserts that caught my eye were the Coconut and Orange riepino. Each sorbet was served in its respective natural fruit shell. The coconut was flavor I feel is not too popular but I always liked its distinct flavor. The orange was very refreshing. If you eat in, most definitely try a dessert. The older gentleman who was there during my visit was super helpful with recommendations and checked on me throughout my visit. As I had stated earlier, this would most certainly be one of my everyday go to spots if I lived closer. read more

A good spot for quick, delicious food. I love their pork dumplings and get them on every visit.

Tons of selections and lunch specials. I had dumplings that were quite tasty. Nothing remarkable but very solid. Everyone else was having the lunch specials that looked good. Fast friendly service. Not a lot of spots to eat but enough with a lot of people ordering take out. read more

The dumplings were amazing and 5 stars! I had the spiced beef dumpling (pan fried). The hot sauce on the side was also very tasty. The staff were friendly and accommodating. There are a few seating options, but not many. There are 3 bar stools by the window, not all of them work. There are a few other tables, but not more than 15 people can sit in the restaurant. I appreciated the flower on the table to add some color to the decor. read more

This seemed to be a nice place from the outside. But no Air conditioner was on. I waited 50 mins for my food. The lady Michelle who waited on us was extremely rude. When I asked how much longer she said have patience. After 50 mins of waiting the food was prepared quickly with no love or flavor. I ordered to shrimp fried rice w/ extra shrimp. But it was dry, pathetic in how it was stirred fried. No extra shrimp I was so disappointed. Bad service ~ hot atmosphere - poorly made food. That's 3 wrongs things. Not to mention Michelle had no positive eye contact and act like she was impatient and mad because of poor working conditions. I will never go back because my food went in the trash after eating the 8 little shrimp. Mad customer. Still hungry read more

Upon going back multiple times, this place deserves 5 stars. The chicken and veggie dumplings are much better pan fried than steamed and the steamed spiced beef dumplings are so good I could eat them everyday. read more

Hell yes! Amazing quick-style service for Chinese cuisine, especially things that I love - soup dumplings, roasted pork buns, fried rice, and noodle soup. Bam! Definitely give this place a try; friendly, quick service, and food served piping hot right from the cozy kitchen. Highly recommended! read more

DO NOT COME HERE. Absolute shit customer service. The worst in New York by far which is saying something. The lady at the counter was a bitch about everything even if I had a simple question. She rushed us and got passive aggressive even when there was NO ONE in the store except us. No wonder it was empty. It's like a shittier version of Panda Express. The food was ass literally tasted like expired water and dry ass chicken. Sorry excuse for "Chinese" food. Seriously while I was eating inside, I saw McDonalds across the street and wished I ate there instead. The worst customer service experience ever. Enough said. read more

Super fresh and delicious dumplings and very friendly service. This is now in my rotation when visiting Manhattan and need a quick bite or take-out. read more

The food here gave me diarrhea in the middle of the night....twice. ****************************************** Additionally the dumplings' meat-to-wrapper ratio is way off. Need more filling in the dumpling or less wrapper dough. Asian fusion is difficult to execute well. The dishes were not compelling perhaps bc the flavors were dampened to appeal to the general public. In any case, I do not plan on returning. read more

Definitely get the homemade dumplings over the standard ones- they're extra juicy and every flavor is delicious (altho if I had to pick one I'd go for the one with shrimp in it). Haven't tried other things on their menu, but definitely will be back! Glad to have this new spot in midtown. read more

I really wanted to like this places. I see they make their dumplings fresh - I saw the lady making the shrimp and veggie dumplings in the window. But I was disappointed with only getting 7 dumplings when I paid for 8. It doesn't feel good to open a takeout box and find 7 dumplings and one empty dumpling wrapper. read more

Ate here not even 5 minutes ago and this place is so under rated. Pork and chive dumplings were fried to a crisp and you can see the pleats on the dumplings were actually made by someone. Flavor was incredible and the coffee was nice and strong. Bf got the fried chicken lunch combo and he was impressed as well. Gentleman who packed our order at the front was very kind and works quickly. Can't recommend this place enough as a fast casual option if you're in the area. read more

Yummy! Recommend! Interior space is so so but the food was wonderful. The dumplings are worth it alone!

Very good beef noodle and duck noodle. Friendly service and opens early for a late breakfast. Also tried veggie dumplings and pancake. Hit the spot! Only wish is there's more cold veggie side dishes or some options to add more veggies to noodles - willing to pay extra for it. read more
